FAQ

What is LPG?

LPG, or Liquefied Petroleum Gas, is a mixture of propane and butane. LPG is produced during the extraction and drying of natural gas and the refining of oil and is an energy source with hundreds of applications: from domestic use to industry and of course as an alternative fuel in cars.

Can I continue to use gasoline after the conversion?

Yes, the car can operate alternatively on gasoline or LPG. Switching from one fuel to the other is done by a switch on the dashboard and can even be done while driving.

What happens if I accidentally put gasoline in the LPG tank?

This is not possible because a special adapter is required to refuel with LPG.

Which cars can have an LPG system installed?

90% of gasoline-powered vehicles can be converted to LPG. The system to be installed is selected depending on the model and specifics of each vehicle.

What changes in the car when converting to LPG?

By installing an LPG system, a vehicle is created that runs on LPG AND petrol. A second, independent fuel system is installed in the car, which uses a second tank. This is usually fitted in the spare tire space, while alternatively it can be placed in the luggage compartment or under the car. LPG is in its liquid form during refueling and storage and is converted to gas just before entering the combustion system

Will the conversion affect the power and handling of my car?

No, with the use of modern multi-injection systems and the correct installation and adjustment of an LPG system, the car's behavior will remain exactly the same.

How safe is LPG?

LPG is extremely safe: it has been used for many years in devices with LPG cylinders. As a fuel, LPG is safer than petrol (conclusion of the Danish Research Institute “TNO”).

The tanks and devices installed in cars are tested at high pressures, are certified according to the strictest quality standards and have multiple safety valves.

The flow of LPG is interrupted if a fault occurs in any part of the system, or when the engine is not running. If the vehicle catches fire, the pressure in the tank is controlled via expansion valves, in order to prevent its destruction.

In the event of a possible leak, the gas is dispersed into the environment and does not accumulate in the surrounding area like liquid fuels.

The LPG system does not communicate with the interior of the vehicle.

Why do LPG tanks automatically fill up to 80% of their capacity?

LPG expands when the temperature rises. The empty space in the tank prevents the pressure inside it from increasing at high ambient temperatures.

What happens if the LPG runs out while the car is in motion?

You will hear a characteristic sound and the system will automatically “switch” to gasoline. You do not need to stop driving.

What maintenance does the LPG system need?

After installation, the LPG system must be serviced at an authorized LPG workshop every 10,000-15,000 km.

Is there any guarantee?

The warranty of the systems is determined by the manufacturing plants. For more information, contact the call center at 2310 68 83 83.
